The Local section of the Yahoo front page is stuck on New York, and I'm unable to change it to my city. IE does not have this problem.

The Local section of the Yahoo front page is stuck on New York as the default, and I'm unable to change it to my city using the normal procedure. IE does not have this problem. This is a new problem that has occurred with the latest version of Firefox. Since the same problem doesn't occur with IE, I've concluded that this is a Firefox issue and not a Yahoo issue. Please advise.
